(WASHINGTON POST) Hillary Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, made what is being described as her debut on Twitter, going after Republican presidential candidate and retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson without naming him. Whether she really wants to look at the responses she got is another matter.

Carson, on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, when asked whether someone should be president regardless of faith, responded that it “depends on what what that faith is,” and declared if that faith were Islam, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.”
